"Read everything two times". You will have to go back to the tower and find what you missed. When you get it I think you will know what to do with it. Or maybe I should say where to take it.

Maybe it will help you. Get a paper and pencil. Draw three squares one on top of the other. Draw three more squares one on top of the other and put them side by side. You now have six squares. Three on the left and three on the right. Put a circle in the two center squares. One circle on the right center square and one circle on the left center square. This represents the cave. The two circles represent the exits. There are two. You need to go up the back way. Away from the giraffe. Try and find your way to the other entrance(circle). Taunt the giraffe. Go out the other exit (the one you entered first) and go around to where the giraffe is. His head is in the exit where you taunted him. He doesn't see you comming. Now you got him!!!! I hope this helps. Good Luck.

(and my cave has two vertical roles of three squares each - with the same exits you have. Thanks.

> I think I know what your missing. You have a small silver coin in your inventory. But did you find the other coin on the ground? At one point the game says - Pour sap on his nose and shove coin up his nose. The game will say "Look down". You find another coin. Stick that one up his

aha! I will try that - verrrry tricky!
